If you’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Vipoo in person, this interview will give you some insight into his practice, his lovely charismatic demeanor, and his inspiring way of working and seeing the world.

emerging artist: Carly Slade

It was the honest
labor of hands that first drew Carly to clay. To that end, her work deals
with the aesthetic elevation of the everyday, of tasks, creatures and objects
alike, and the relationships that exist between them.
Growing up in “Oil Country” Alberta, Carly has been a fascinated since childhood
in how the things around her work, and an appreciation for the beauty in that.
She considers herself a “Mixed Media Sculptor with a sold clay base”, she is currently workout out of Calgary, AB.
 

 

emerging artist: Jenny Reed


My objective is to encourage appreciation for the interconnectivity I
see in beings and life processes. I am very interested in ethical
reasoning and perplexed by human activity, or inactivity, and how this
correlates to the rest of life. When creating work, I allow my pieces to
encompass my own emotions. I hope to spark feelings of compassion,
sympathy, and joy and to trigger a feeling of intimacy. I have a hopeful
attitude about the future and I want to share this with my audience.

As
a ceramic artist, I am influenced by the natural world. I appreciate
the material’s transformation from water, air and fire, as it reminds me
of my own connection with the earth. My childhood memories of working
with clay are still influential today as I maintain a playful attitude
with my work, both physically and conceptually.
